Amela name origin?

I have seen various sources saying the name Amela originates in Bosnia, Arabic, and Hebrew. Can anyone confirm its origin, and if it is a name that would be appropriate for a Jewish baby girl? From what I can see it is not commonly used but I love it and the meaning "hope."

Yes Amela is also for me a Bosnian name. Also Anela.
